Disabling symptoms since distal bicep repair surgery. Any suggestions?

It is very frustrating. The mornings are the worst for me right now. I’ve fallen into this pattern where I wake up sometime between 3-4 and as i lay there I get a severe headache, pulsing/roaring sound in my left ear, and then the uneasiness/nausea just builds along with a very anxious feeling that doesn’t seem to be anxiety. During this time my pulse never gets above mid-50s and trying to relax does nothing to help. This feeling often sticks around for a few hours (sometimes causing me to vomit) before easing off. Other times, however, it stays all day and I have a really bad day. I feel if I could get past this stuff in the morning I could begin to recover but it is really just a horrible feeling and experience every morning.

Have you tried to get up when you awaken that early? Maybe to sit quietly in the dark and breathe deeply, or do something to distract yourself? Read, fold clothes, wash dishes...even video game if it works to distract you. That building feeling is likely anxiety - and if you can break the cycle it may calm down.
I have suffered horrible nausea at a times in my life - sometimes lasting for weeks or months. While eating is the LAST thing my body wants, I learned a trick about 40 years ago. As soon as that first niggling of what I refer to as pre-nausea begins, I very slowly eat an apple, skin and all. At times I may sip flat room temperature Coke (not diet) along with it. I have taught my husband to use this when his diabetes meds cause nausea, and I myself have been using it recently as I struggle with gall bladder issues.
Just trying to help find some coping strategies while you get to the cause.
